Now the “moderate” rebels are going to introduce the Syrian people to slavery, hooray!
He went
At least the new regime is an improvement, right?
Who must return?
Did Russia also hire juche necromancers?
Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
Materially, does it make any difference whether he is dead or whether he is alive in Russia, but not doing anything to retake the country? Glad he’s alive, if only because I don’t want the enemy to have that win of crashing his plane, but it doesn’t make the situation any less doomer
Maybe someone will have one hell of a “so I went to my optometrist yesterday…” story after their appointment at The Lion of DaMoscow Eyecare.
“so I went to my optometrist yesterday…”
Extremely pedantic correction: Dr. Assad is an ophthalmologist, not an optometrist. He’s qualified to perform surgery and prescribe medication, in addition to general eye care.
He’s still waiting on his license for that!
Well shit, what happens next?
I’m gonna guess the current government takes a hard-right “turn”, and Russia starts funding rebel groups in Syria in hopes of getting back influence in the region.
What’s the Russian equivalent of Miami they stick their Governments-in-exile with basically zero local support in?
I guess Crimea if we want to keep governments-in-exile in vacation destinations.
Krasnodar, sochi, are the biggest tropical resort towns unlike Crimea that has a more temperate climate. And Krasnodar is swampy I think.
Every one tries to make friends with the new government of Syria (assuming there is one). There have already been statements from Assad’s allies )Iraqi militia leaders, Iran and Russia) expressing interest in diplomacy.
I’m not optimistic, but the future isn’t certain either.
So what was the thing with his plane losing altitude?
My understanding was that a plane leaving Syria did get shot down, but it was total speculation as to who was on board. Maybe? It’s hard to keep track of telegram rumors
That plane legit crush, but we don’t know who’s on board. Naturally, people starts to speculate the death of Assad, which is oc can’t be confirmed until Assad’s confirmed death. Turns out he’s well and fine.
Assad is alive and well in Moscow
How do you f*** that up?
Assad’s gotta go
